In fact it's totally rust free.

Probably the best and most reliable car i have ever had in 50 years of driving, which includes many much newer cars.
Purchased 4.5 years ago for what was a bit above the market rate but never looked back.

Well that's the kiss of death. !!!!!!!
You've got the 2.4 which from a reliability perspective is the best buy - 5-cylinder bomb proof Volvo engine and no turbo charger and associated vacuum operated control systems.... That will go on forever.
